On April 13th, 2003, this blog made the comment that The Jungle Book 2 (imdb | buy at amazon | netflix) was so bad that McDonalds wouldn’t do a happy meal for it.

Sadly I was wrong. Phee had a happy meal last night. A Jungle Book 2 happy meal. I don’t know if I should feel sorrier for Disney or Maccas. Or Phee.

Is there a word for ‘man who loves television’.

Man, it’s awesome. I will never leave the couch. Please send food.

Congratulations to Mr Audiville, Nigel, on being the featured blog in this weeks Web User magazine in the UK. Well deserved recognition of bloody funny stuff, published fresh every day. Thanks for reading all this time Nigel, hope the Audi keeps on going a while yet.

I’m walking around looking up a lot today ’cause I’m sure that a big fat baby grand is going to come screeching down on top of me any second.

Firstly – we’ve got the TV. It’s waiting in the back of Rae’s station waggon for me to get home and help lug it in. (One hour 55 minutes plus travelling time to go).

Secondly – the world’s most inefficient real estate agents, take a bow Barlow McEwan & Tribe – Newport, have just called to let us know that our lease has been extended for another 12 months – great news ’cause now I can finally get broadband connected at home.

Life has taught me that when things are humming along this nicely you should always keep an eye out for falling pianos. So, I’m happy but dare not look down.

Can’t concentrate.

Doing chair dances.

Trying to decide which of 130+ DVDs to watch first.

Rae’s going to pick up the new telly.

Want to go home.

I couldn’t sleep list night through anticipation. Today may be W-Day – Widescreen Day!

After out savings/ebaying frenzy we’ve got the money and now there’s been a price drop on the widescreen television we want so it’s action stations. Rae is doing the rounds of the Coles Myer stores today (we’ve got a heap of vouchers for them from our Visa card program and Fly Buy points) to track one down.

My only agony is that I suggested to Rae (who has the day off) that she and Phee meet me at Punt Road for the Tiger’s training session this afternoon and she’s holding me to it. Oh the pain. Sure, I want to see the boys run around and have a snag off the barbie later but knowing there is a shiny new Sony television sitting on the floor just waiting to come out of its box will be killing me.

And for those who are saying “Why do you want to waste money on a widescreen TV when the one you’ve got is great?” (Hi Mum) check out widescreen-o-rama. The second page has some great pictures that really show you what you’re missing on a standard telly.

While searching to find out whether Andrew Ridgeley was dead or not. I found out this about him :

Andrew obviously fights to ensure his son has a future and clean water to drink. Andrew lends his name and time to the UK charity, Surfers Against Sewage.

They have surfers, let alone surf, in England? And Andrew Ridgeley is their patron saint?

Oh dear, time for a cuppa and a good lie down.

What do you do when you’re bored at work, want five minutes of distraction and no one is around to bother you?

You work on your blog of course.

Pt 1. The name. When I fist started this blog (inspired by years of reading Daniel) I used Blogger and named it ‘Between Coffees’ ’cause that’s what I talk about – the stuff that happens between coffees. Somehow when I outgrew Blogger and got with the the heavies (Movable Type) my name disappeared to be replaced by, well, my name.

My name is okay for me but for a blog it’s pretty bloody boring so I’ve switched back. Look up at the top of the page and everyone say welcome back to ‘Between Coffees’.

Pt 2. I also realised that I want to belong, I’m needy in that way, so I thought I’d join the Melbourne Bloggers web ring. Unfortunately I’ve suffered my first blogging rejection – the page is down.
